Oh how I miss my sweet Gallbladder!

Yes, they ripped you from me while I was sleeping, and now I won't be the same ever again! (sob)

Oh yes, boys and girls, I had the pleasure this past week (1/3/08) of having my gallbladder removed. I had some horrible, I repeat, HORRIBLE stomach pain on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day that led to me going to the ER on Christmas evening. We were in Cedar Falls, so my dad took me to Sartori. They were quite busy so we were there until about midnight. They did a CT Scan and couldn't find anything wrong with my appendix or any blockage and since they were so busy that night they sent me home and said that it wasn't anything that would kill me????? but that I should see my doctor the next day. Oh yes, that is really what they did. So I went to my doctor the next day and was set up for an ultrasound on Friday 12/28. I had stomach pain every night until then. They said they thought I had polyps in my gallbladder. Eventually I was scheduled for a surgery consult the following Wednesday 1/2/08 and they said they could do surgery the next day.
So now I am less of a woman that I used to be. :)
I am back to work now. Bill is thrilled that I am better too.
So now I have posted. Thanks!

Now, don't forget the nickname I'm trying to give you of :Katharine the Great. I'm certain your gallbladder was stealing precious super hero energy from you so now imagine what powers you will have!!!
Seriously, I'm glad you are better. Let us know if you need anything. I'm sure Jewel would be devastated if we needed to come and have Ashley for a sleepover; simply devastated.

Smiles,
Jennifer
